    There’s only a handful of video datasets and all of it is owned by Google through YouTube or big Hollywood companies like Disney and Netflix.

    These companies are foaming at the mouth with rage thinking about what generative AI will do to their industry and how much it will help the currently non existant indie one. They will do whatever it takes to fence in the playbox and make sure they get to be the toll man.

    This was never about AI getting to live or not, but who gets to own it. 404media is essentially a mouthpiece for these corporations, willingly or not, and the strengthening of copyright laws will not help the consumers or the small time creators. The only exception being laws that force copy left licenses onto models but that’s not what is being pushed right now, as well as aocs Deepfake act which is well thought out imo.

    Anyone should be permitted to train on YouTube and Netflix data, and Nvidia might even open source it in any case.

      Nvidia does not have a strong history of open sourcing things, to say the least. That last bit sounds like pure hopium

        The guy you are replying to is in all AI posts defending AIs. He is probably heavily invested in this BS or being paid for it, don’t waste your time with him.

          Tbh, someone has to. Have you ever asked yourself if the intense hate AI gets and how 99% of articles are against it is organic?

          There’s a handful of companies that are poised to win big if they can put up a fence around AI while making sure the public can’t run strong models. There is an intense media campaign to make sure the public thinks either AI is dangerous (so they can be the only ones legally allowed to distribute them) or that AI is theft (So they can be the only ones to afford building them).

          Do not let yourself be manipulated, almost all strengthening of copyrights related to AI is completely against our interests.

          And no, I’m not getting paid lol. I have a vested interest because I use generative technology for work and for fun in my free time. I’m also interested in not handing out our whole economy on a silver platter to Google and Microsoft, if I can maybe help with a couple of comments a week, I will. Why don’t you explain why I’m wrong instead of sending out baseless accusations?

        Their nematron 320b model was released on what essentially is an open source licence (available for commercial use except if you are doing shady things like spamming and collecting biometric data).

        Having a robust open source ecosystem directly benefits Nvidia since they sell more higher end consumer GPUs.

        Obviously, there’s a real chance that this isn’t open sourced since it’s a video money and there’s huge money involved. Doesnt really change the fact that having YouTube and Netflix dictate who gets to make video models and at what cost is a good idea.
